addition, high-pressure spray will dislodge unsecured objects as well as surface
chips and debris, resulting in hazardous flying objects that can cause personal
injury or property damage. Do not spray brittle surfaces or breakable, fragile, or
unsecured objects such as:
o stucco or laminar flagstone
o some painted surfaces
o windows or glass doors (because they may break)
o light fixtures, flowerbeds, mailboxes
o unsecured, lightweight objects
Procedure:
1.
Put on one of the high-pressure spray nozzles (always relieve system pressure
first and follow instructions for attaching a nozzle).
2.
Clear the cleaning area of all persons. Keep children and pets away.
3.
Hold the spray gun firmly with two hands and a sturdy stance -- Gun kicks back
when triggered.
CAUTION:
Spray gun metal gets extremely hot when using the burner and can
burn you on contact. Never touch the metal screw or any metal parts
of the spray gun when the heater is being used. Use only designated
grip areas.

4.
Wash from the bottom to the top, using side-to-side motions. This washes away
heavy dirt and allows the detergent to soak as you work toward the top.
5.
Use the width of the spray pattern to wash a wide path. Overlap spray paths for
complete coverage.
The nozzle should be 12" to 24" from the work, closer for tough areas.
6.
7.
Small parts should be washed in a basket, so the pressure does not push them
away. Larger, lightweight parts should be clamped down.
8.
The pressure washer is set and locked to the maximum rated pressure when it
leaves the factory. To reduce the pressure, turn the unloader knob
counterclockwise. (See Fig157115_8 below)
WARNING:
Do not attempt to alter the unloader valve's maximum pressure.
Excess pressure could cause serious injury from escaping high-
pressure fluids and/or pump damage. Any alteration other than
turning the adjustment knob will void your warranty.
